anemoi | ０６❣❣　ｔｈｅ　ｉｃｅ　ｑｕｅｅｎ

✘ VIDEO;

I thought I should just tell the rest of you that I'm alright. I know I've been quiet, but a girl needs time to recover, you know. [ She sounds almost apprehensive at this point. ] It seems I'm the type to get into trouble often.. I exchanged some more of my Anemoi in for another memory, you see. It seems back home I had this knight in blue all to myself who often protected me. [ Hee! ] You know, I bet that makes me royalty! Knights are the kind of people who go on daring adventures to risk beautiful maidens of noble blood like myself, you know.

Hm.. I bet we were secret lovers too. [ Now she's just full of herself just from a single memory. ] He had a penchant for the heart of ladies, but he must have adored mine the most. Huh, it makes it a lot easier knowing that there's someone like that in my life.. I didn't think it could make me feel that way.

[ Erk! She's gone off topic a lot. Recover. Recover! ]

This storm isn't all too bad, but please keep from doing anything reckless and stupid. There's no need to go out in it just for some fragments of Anemoi. Not that I know that there's any of that out there or anything. I do need to ask though - does anyone else hear that in the distance?

[ Because talking about the oddities of this world were a lot better than talking about a potential love life she can't really recall. She does remember the name of this knight in blue and that was enough for her. ]

I dare you to say that to my face!

[ Which is clearly hidden due to blankets. ]

...Your face is hidden. I can't do that until you let me.

Coward!

[ Totally went there.

Also was it mentioned she's behaving like a five year old? ]

You're the one who's hiding under a blanket!

That's because I'm cold!!

[ At least she'll peek through now at him with red cheeks. ]

Idiot! What else would I be under the blankets for!?

To hide your embarrassment.

And I'm sorry that I embarrassed you. I never meant to.

[ Shrieking. ]

I'm not embarrassed! I'm not! I'm most definitely not embarrassed!!!

But -- but it's all right! Everybody gets embarrassed sometimes!

I don't!

[ Retreating back into the blanket fully. ]

Idiot...

It won't hurt you to admit that you are, you know. People like a person who admits that kind of thing.

I don't care if people like me or not.

...I don't believe that. I think you're putting on a strong front.

Who do you think you are saying things like that?

[ Her voice's dropped and there's a certain lack of screaming from the pile of blankets. ]

I'm just someone making an observation based on everything he's seen.

Just.. shut up. You don't know anything, you know.

[ Blanket forts it up some more. ]

It's okay to show a softer side. Even if you don't show it to everyone, just find one person you trust enough to show it to. I bet it helps.

I said shut up.

And do what?

I don't know. Stop talking to me?

...But I would like to keep talking to you.

Why? I've yelled at you enough, haven't I?

Well, I...

[He pauses for a few seconds. He's not sure how to phrase this, so he ends up being direct.]

I like spending time with you. I have fun.

[ That takes a little longer to process in her mind. There was no real benefit to spending time with another, so why she was even considering the validity of his statement was confusing enough. After a couple of minutes of nothing but the shuffling of fabric and light breaths, she'll peer back out at the phone in hand. ]

Fun?

Yeah. It's always an interesting experience, and I end up having fun. Even something as simple as walking to a pharmacy is more fun with you.

...A-anyway.

[He can feel the heat rising into his cheeks over what he's about to say next.]

I know you don't have anyone to spend Christmas with. Well, I don't, either. So, instead of the two of us spending it by ourselves, why not spend time together?

[ She about chokes at the pharmacy part as she shrugs off the blankets around her face so that she can give the phone one heck of a stare. Then he asks her that! There's a small twinge of regret for revealing her face too early since she's certain her cheeks feel a bit too warm to be normal. ]

What's so wrong about s-spending it by ourselves? [ Listen to that pitch to her tone rise. ] But it isn't as though I had any plans, so it would be in poor taste to decline.
